Samsung's dabbled in creating dedicated spaces for UK shoppers a few times, but unlike arch-rival Apple, hasn't built up any long-standing retail presence. That's not the case in other regions, though, and earlier this year Samsung decided it was...

YouTube is chock full of falling domino videos, but Numberphile's Matt Parker may have trumped them all with a complicated 10,000 domino setup that just so happens to function as a very crude computer. How is such a thing even possible? This primer video explains the basics.

At just Â£10, Sky's Now TV box is pretty good value for money as is. The idea, of course, is that cash continues to flow in Sky's direction by means of the film, TV and sport subscription packages, but there's nothing to stop you from forking out the...

Khloe Kardashian has filed for divorce from her husband of four years, Lamar Odom. Documents obtained by TMZ cite “irreconcilable differences.” The 29-year-old ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star’s filing for divorce from the 34-year-old NBA star comes as no surprise as the couple’s unraveling marriage in general and Lamar Odom’s alleged drug abuse and — more recently allegations that he had been cheating on her — have been constant in tabloids and media for the past couple of years. Earlier the same day of filing (December 13th) TMZ had reported that Kardasian would file. Documents which the site obtained can be seen here. Kloe Kardashian’s lawyer is the well-known divorce attorney Laura Wasser. The couple famously signed a prenuptial agreement, thus keeping their property separate. According to documents Kardasian wants her name back — legally she is Kloe Kardashian Odom — and she is also not asking for spousal support and also asking that the judge similarly reject any such request of her from Odom. The four-year marriage, as with many aspects of Kardashian family life, had been played out before the camera, as the couple relocated to Texas when Odom was traded to the Dallas Mavericks and then [...]Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RightCelebrity/~3/H6ofYmvllqo/Tags: brining a turkeyperson of interestclemson football

Winter is a great time to be a movie lover: The weather outside is frightful, but the films inside promise to be delightful -- or at least well made, thought provoking, and entertaining. (Yeah, it's tough to call the violent revenge movie Out of the Furnace or the Afghanistan-set war drama Lone Survivor delightful). From blockbusters like Disney's animated smash Frozen and the sure-to-be hilarious Anchorman 2 to Oscar hopefuls like Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street and David O. Russell's American Hustle, here's the scoop on the hottest cinematic tickets this winter.

T-Mobile customers in parts of Europe will get home screen widget in 2014

Twitter and Deutsche Telekom, the German telecommunications giant behind T-Mobile, have entered into a strategic partnership that'll give the microblogging service more prominence on certain T-Mobile Android devices in parts of Europe. Under the agreement Twitter will "create a unique experience for Deutsche Telekom devices," including what sounds like a Twitter home screen widget preloaded on certain Android handsets from 2014. In return DT will get "early access to new tools and innovations on the technical side" and help with integrating Twitter into its marketing campaigns, according to a statement given to GigaOM, potentially giving the company a leg-up over the local competition.

The agreement will initially cover only Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Greece and Croatia — a small subset of Deutsche Telekom's global reach. But as recent stats from PeerReach reveal, Germany in particular is an important market Twitter has yet to fully conquer, with just 1 percent market penetration in that country versus 11 percent in the UK.
